Chapter 041: Escape
The sunlight outside the house seemed to be obscured by heavy clouds, and the light dimmed instantly, and the air suddenly became a little colder.
With a thud, the glass fell to the ground.
Li Muchen got up and said coldly outside, "Come out!" â
Immediately outside the door, three masked men rushed in.
Li Muchen immediately escorted Du Wanruo behind him and retreated inside with her.
Among the three people, the leader looked at Li Muchen and Du Wanruo respectively, and finally looked at Li Muchen's body, only to see that he was holding a long sword and had not yet spoken, but Li Muchen had seen through his identity.
"Fourth brother, don't come unharmed."
Since his identity has been recognized, there is no need to hide it, Li Muyun took off his mask, and his face was still the same.
I saw him squint his eyes and sneered, "It's really worthy of being a big brother, even if the poison in his body is severe for a while, it can't poison you." â
Du Wanruo was shocked when she heard this, and her eyes flashed with incomprehension.
Li Muchen noticed that Li Muyun deliberately avoided Du Wanruo's sight, and immediately guessed the answer, and her heart couldn't help but warm, it seemed that she didn't want to let herself die.
The next moment, Li Muchen's chest was on fire, his throat was sweet, and he vomited a mouthful of black blood, which frightened Du Wanruo at a loss.
"What's wrong with you? How so? It's just a drug, how can you vomit blood? â
At this time, one of the three people who watched coldly couldn't wait, and stepped forward to remind Li Muyundao, "Brother Yun, so as not to have too many dreams at night, make a decision immediately." â
Li Muyun understood what he meant, so he asked the left and right to go out and wait for him, and he immediately made a break with Li Muchen here.
After the two went out, Du Wanruo was already messy enough to stand in front of Li Muchen, she wanted to reach out and wipe the black blood from the corner of Li Muchen's mouth, but was grabbed by the person behind her in time, "This is our only chance, he doesn't die, it's us who die!" â
Du Wanruo's brain buzzed, and then he felt someone force someone to stuff a cold and hard object in his hand.
Li Muyun stood behind her, holding the hilt of the sword with her, and then slowly lifted it, slashing through Li Muchen's clothes from bottom to top, pointing straight to the heart.
He grabbed Du Wanruo's shoulder with his other hand, bowed his head and whispered to her in her ear, "To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself, remember how he treated you in the previous life?" Don't hesitate, the situation of the three of us today is already doomed, either he dies or we die! â
Li Muchen's face had begun to look ugly, a few strands of broken hair hung down from his forehead, and his handsome face was full of black and pressed tiredness.
This was the first time Du Wanruo had seen him look like such a wolf, and at this moment, he just looked at Du Wanruo and Li Muyun weakly from beginning to end, without saying a word.
Maybe it's a relationship of little time, Li Muyun saw that Du Wanruo was hesitant at the knot, I don't know if she didn't want to do it because Li Muchen had been in love for a long time, or because she had never killed anyone and was afraid, anyway, it couldn't be changed, Li Muchen was going to die today, so he cleanly picked up Du Wanruo's hand with a sword and stabbed it into Li Muchen's chest.
At the critical moment, Du Wanruo let go of the hilt of the sword in surprise, so that the tip of the sword deviated a little, but it still hit Li Muchen's heart.
Li Muchen slid down on the beam behind him, his face as white as paper.
Seeing this, Li Muyun hurriedly snatched the sword in Du Wanruo's hand, because he felt that the sword was not deep enough, and he was afraid that Li Muchen would survive, so it was the safest thing to make up another sword now.
Unexpectedly, the two of them broke into the door suddenly, and said hurriedly, "Oh no, Brother Yun, the Royal Forest Army is here, we have to leave quickly!" â
Li Muyun really wanted to make up for another sword, just one sword, it wouldn't take much time, but Du Wanruo suddenly stopped him and said, "He has been severely poisoned and wounded by the sword, he will definitely not survive, let's run away quickly, it will be too late." â
Li Muyun looked at Li Muchen again, and saw that his lips and eyelids had turned black, presumably the poison had invaded his internal organs, coupled with the sword wound in his heart, even if it was not deep, he had shed a lot of blood, and he was afraid that Da Luo Jinxian would not be able to save it.
Only then did he choose to leave quickly with everyone.
Before leaving, Du Wanruo took one last look at Li Muchen, who was half-sitting on the ground with his back against the pillar, he was dying, his eyes were staring at her, but he finally smiled at her.
That smile was so weak, so eye-catching, it pierced her heart, until every day in the future, but whenever she thinks of the capital and Li Muchen, what lingers in her mind is always this distressing smile.
At the back door of the Yuelao Temple, Li Muyun and his entourage had already been cleaned up, and there was no one, only three horses.
The three men each rode a horse, and Du Wanruo sat in Li Muyun's arms and rode with him.
When they were about to reach the city gate, the four men got into a carriage again.
The moment Shun LĂŹ left the city, it was clear that the assassination of the prince had already been in an uproar, and they noticed that someone had informed the officers and soldiers of the city gate to temporarily close the city gate so that the assassin could be apprehended.
It's a pity that those people are just one step behind.
The four of them came to the outside of the city, and they didn't know what the chaos had become in the capital at this moment, and they began to discuss their plans for the future.
Li Muyun's cronies, two people with blue and green clothes, riding horses respectively, and because Du Wanruo is a woman, she is far away from the border, and it is the first time to go out, Li Muyun is worried that she will not be able to stand the pain of the fatigue of the boat and car, so the two of them still took the carriage, but changed to a more simple one.
A few people made an appointment to meet at the outpost on the border and the town of Leisha.
After discussion, everyone parted ways and hurried to their own roads.
Li Muyun took Du Wanruo to a high ground far away from the capital, which had a wide field of vision, just enough to have an unobstructed view of the prosperous capital.
Du Wanruo had never seen such a magnificent and shocking scene, the capital where she grew up was actually a neat and staggered golden city in her eyes now.
She couldn't help but think of the ballads she heard as a child.
Ah~ Beijing, my hometown, you are so brilliant.
Ah~ The capital, the city of the Son of Heaven, you make me haunted by dreams like this......
She suddenly felt that her decision, her choice, was not wrong, and she would use these eyes to see more beautiful scenery that she had never seen before, and the freedom she wanted was now realized.
Because Li Muyun and Du Wanruo were riding in a carriage, which was slower, and they were not as flexible and fast as riding a horse, they chose a relatively close road, but this road was relatively remote and relatively not very safe, but in order to get rid of the pursuers who were probably sent out, they could only take risks.
Du Wanruo has never left the capital, left home, let alone went to a place so far away from the border.
So after coming out, she has always followed Li Muyun, and she will go wherever he goes.
Several times, Li Muyun wanted to go to the grove to relieve herself, but she insisted on going with her, which made Li Muyun laugh wildly in a good mood, and finally hugged her, and said that her mouth was dry, so that she was calmed down and obediently waited for him to come back in the car.
The first night she had with Li Muyun came quietly after a day's journey.
Li Muyun said that it is not advisable to rush at night, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards at night, and it is the best policy to rest in place for a night and nourish your spirit.
Du Wanruo has no experience, just blindly believes in him.
Without the soft pillows of the high bed, she slept badly that night.
Even if they are eloped now, they are different from men and women, and they haven't seen each other for many years, so it is inevitable that they will be estranged from each other, so Li Muyun told her as early as the evening, and when she slept in the car at night, he leaned outside.
Now it is autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and the temperature will drop as soon as the day is over.
Du Wanruo couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning in the car, just wanted to see if Li Muyun was outside, but who knew that he only poked out his head, and found that the outside was much colder than the inside, and after taking two more breaths of air, his nose was cold.
Looking at Li Muyun again, he was leaning against the wheels, his hands around his arms, his legs folded, and his eyes closed, as if he was not cold at all.
Du Wanruo saw that he seemed to be asleep, and couldn't bear to disturb him, and as soon as he retracted his head, he heard Li Muyun's voice.
"I know you can't sleep."
Du Wanru's face turned red as in a word of misfortune, poked his head out again, and only asked, "Aren't you cold?" â
